Days 508 – 513: Brazil to Uruguay and going coastal
The border crossing from Brazil to Uruguay was reasonably fast, but we did lose more time than needed because we accidentally entered Uruguay before exiting Brazil so we had to go back before proceeding. Not that we have any plans to return to Brazil in the near future, but we did get a visa for […]
Days 495 – 507: Argentina to Brazil and finding Christmastown
On Friday, November 30, we crossed the border into Brazil. This was one of the longer crossings we have had in South America as the Brazilian side was a bit less organized than we would have liked, but we were in and sipping on caipirinhas before we knew it. Details on the process are on […]
Days 450 – 479: Bolivia to Chile and down the sliver we go
Leaving Oruro on the morning we were to cross the border was quite stressful. We had a 3-hour ride ahead of us and a near-empty gas tank. I ranted about getting gas as a foreigner in Bolivia in my last post and this morning was the prime example of why. We were sent away from […]
Days 447 – 449: Some salty fun on the way out of Bolivia
We headed to the city of Uyuni for our last weekend in Bolivia as we intended to visit the famous salt flat nearby. Despite being the most touristy city in Bolivia, Uyuni was far from impressive. It was just as filthy as the rest of the country (Bolivia is keeping up with Peru in the […]
Days 421 – 435: To Machu Picchu and beyond
Monday was a great day to visit the 15th-century Inca citadel that has countless numbers of foreigners visiting Peru for. We knew we would be going to Machu Picchu since the inception of this trip and after 420 days on the road, we made it. Yes, it is heavy on the tourist traffic; however, it […]
Days 414 – 420: A desert oasis and a bout of altitude sickness
After two weeks of dormancy, it was time to hit the road again. Next stop was in the city of Ica, around 4 hours from Lima. The plan was to visit the nearby Huacachina, Peru’s “oasis in the desert” that is around 5 kilometers away from where we stopped. Huacachina is a little village built […]
Days 393 – 396: Ecuador to Peru and the road to Lima
On Monday, August 20, we crossed the border from Ecuador into Peru. It was a bit long because we had to wait in a relatively slow-moving line on the Ecuador side, but the process itself was straight-forward. Details are on our Border Crossings page. Our first impression of Peru was far from good, to […]
Our top 10 towns and cities in Colombia
Mention Colombia to anyone and more likely than not, they will think of the TV show Narcos, Pablo Escobar, cocaine, drug trafficking, or armed conflict. Well, here’s some news for you: those preconceptions are far-removed from the Colombia of today. Everyone we met who had been to Colombia prior to our visit raved about the […]
New Video: Colombia II – MedellÃn to Ipiales
We have a new video up on our YouTube channel where we share a little more magic of Colombia as we travelled through the country from the City of Eternal Spring, MedellÃn, to the home of the Las Lajas Sanctuary, Ipiales. Enjoy, subscribe, and share! 🙂
